vortex516 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would suspect something to do with the Toba Inlet power project. There's been some bad luck out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekingshead Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Did they purchase a 600N for the power project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitpin Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 A VERY unsubstantiated rumour from the "tea lady in the canteen" that the machine sent to sling out the wreck, itself had a small problem this morning. According to the RUMOUR the pad built for the rescue machine collapsed and the machine rolled down the mountain totalling it. The good rumour is that nobody was hurt. Anyone in the know out there?? Again, just a rumour, if wrong, set me straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
